After the once-proud protector of the environment, the EPA, today rejected California’s right to regulate tailpipe emissions to control greenhouse gases, probably as a payback to industry support for the just-signed Federal bill, reactions came swiftly from California:
"Extremely disappointing," said Governor Schwarzenneger.
"Disgraceful," said Dianne Feinstein, Senator.
"Absurd," said Edmund Brown, Attorney General, who promised to work with the Gov to sue immediately.
The Sierra Club’s chief counsel told the Los Angeles Times:
"These guys are 0-and-4 in court," he said.
"And they’re about to go 0-5."
